Night Weaning? Mums with other bubs please.

So...Olivia will be 1 next week and I would really love to try and get her to night wean. It's probably my doing as I've always ran in there and fed her when she wakes in the night however, I'm due back at work soon do I'd love to try and wean her. If I'm being honest....it actually really irritates me having to get up as i know she really doesn't need to and it makes no difference if she has had a good dinner and a huge bottle of formula...dhe still wakes up for a bf. She screams and thrashes about as soon as she sees me and it's hard bx, essentially, she will go back to sleep straight away if I feed her.
Question is (and this might be best answered from mum's with older bubs) will she eventually stop or do I need to wean her myself? I could try and send my hubby into resettle her but he's such a sook in the middle of the night it's painful. Lol.
Advice please. I'm so over getting up! I just want to sleep through the night again......

It's a tricky one my guy is 12 months and he really only night weaned maybe a month ago but only because he stopped waking so much and my husband would go in and resettle if he did. So I don't really have any advice except send your hubby in unless she is completely losing it otherwise you won't sleep either. I think he wanted night feeds when he was teething too.

It's really hard to say, she will probably wean herself but the question is when! Mine still feeds 1-3 times per night, whereas my older two never did at this age. I was ok with it but I am really struggling now, just so tired with winter bugs, ?I am thinking of night weaning soon....l

We co sleep from the first night wake up which is around 12am. He starts off in his cot. I found this article helpful. Started a week ago and last night he only had two feeds which is huge for us! Maybe u can tweak it to work for you? Good luck it's hard!
